Spot gold should not fall below $1931.00 after NFP and other US economic data releases today to continue the rising bullish trend. Spot silver has to trade over $23.90 to be in a bullish zone and in September. Monday is a holiday in USA. Traders reaction one hour before or one hour after the release of US August nonfarm payrolls needs a close watch.
I will prefer to look at the ability of spot gold to break and trade over $1956 key resistance. For spot silver, I will prefer to check for the ability/inability to break past $25.00 today and next week.
Interest rates expectation by the Federal Reserve will change every few days as US July PCE inflation number did not fall significantly. Extreme side nonfarm payrolls is needed for a one way trend in precious metals, base metals and all asset classes. NFP between 160,000-225,000 will cause price moves to be dependent on the key support or key resistance holding power.
Gold and silver have risen this week partly due to expectation that a slower jobs growth in USA will cause a soft landing. Only a very high headline NFP number over 3,00,000 will cause a selloff in gold, silver, copper and US stock markets.
Just wait and watch. Trend after London AM Fix can give an idea of trend after NFP. There can be a big gap open on Monday in spot gold and spot silver in Asia. Yeah, your local Asian currency will also open with a big gap on Monday versus the US dollar.
